The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times
Chapter 248 Going up the mountain to chop wood
Lu Qingqing really didn't have a good impression of Yang Dehua.
So he decided to pretend not to see it and walked straight towards his house.
But soon, I heard a shout from behind:
"Little girl, do you still recognize me? I am Yongyan's second uncle. Didn't we agree this morning to come and help?"
Without waiting for Lu Qingqing to continue walking, Yang Dehua had already trotted in front of Lu Qingqing.
Now, there is no way to leave.
Lu Qingqing looked up at him and said bluntly:
"We have enough people here, so we won't bother you!"
Yang Dehua saw that she didn't look smiling, but he didn't get angry. He continued to smile and said:
"Little girl, I mean well. You're still young and don't understand. Forget it, I'll go by myself!"
As he said that, he ran straight towards the room where the noise came from.
Lu Qingqing rolled her eyes at his back. It had been a long time since she met such a shameless person.
But she couldn't do anything!
Lu Qingqing put down the bucket and followed.
Inside the house, County Magistrate Yao and several other men were building a kang.
Yang Dehua probably knew that he was not welcome, so as soon as he entered the house, he went straight to the place where the mud was being mixed.
When Lu Tianfu saw him come in, he quickly put down the work in his hands and went over to grab the shovel from Yang Dehua.
While the two were pulling each other, someone came from outside the yard.
Lu Qingqing heard the noise and turned around, and saw Yang Yongyan and Yang Yongxing pulling a cart in.
The cart was loaded with firewood.
Yang Yongyan saw Lu Qingqing standing at the door looking inside, and greeted her with a smile:
"Daya, what are you looking at there? I brought some firewood over. Call Uncle Lu or Shuhe to see where the firewood is."
Lu Qingqing nodded and decided to ask Lu Tianming about this matter.
After all, all the rooms in the yard were occupied, including the former woodshed.
When Yang Yongyan saw Lu Qingqing running away, he was about to talk to Yongxing next to him when he heard his second uncle's voice coming from inside the house.
He couldn't help but think that this was not good. This second uncle was really haunting him. Why did he come here again?
He ran quickly towards the house, and as soon as he entered, he saw his second uncle arguing with Lu Tianfu, both of them holding shovels in their hands.
He took two steps forward, pulled his uncle away, and said helplessly:
"Second Uncle, didn't my father tell you not to come here? Okay, I'll take you back. If you come here again to cause trouble, I'll find Seventh Uncle!"
After saying that, without listening to Yang Dehua's explanation, he directly called Yang Yongxing who was outside, and the two of them dragged Yang Dehua out of the door.
This time, both brothers put all their strength into suppressing Yang Dehua who was struggling desperately.
Soon, the three of them left the yard and headed towards the village.
Lu Qingqing looked at the two lines of dragging marks in the yard and couldn't help but silently give a thumbs up to the two brothers.
This is what you have to do to deal with those who are thick-skinned!
It was not until long after lunch that the Yang Yongyan brothers came back.
This time, the two men brought back two large sacks of dried vegetables.
Yang Yongyan ignored Lu Tianming's refusal, put down his things and walked out, saying as he walked:
"Uncle Lu, if you don't accept it, I'll be too embarrassed to come here again in the future!
I still have two carts of firewood and some cabbage at home, I'll bring them over later!"
Seeing the two brothers walking away, Lu Tianfu couldn't help but sigh:
"Yang Yongyan's family are all honest people, so how come there's such a shameless second uncle? This is even more outrageous than what I did before. I wasn't so shameless back then!"
After hearing this, the village chief couldn't help but laugh and said jokingly:
"Hey, it's rare that you know what you were like before!"
After hearing this, Lu Tianfu stiffened his neck and said unconvincedly:
"I was still young and ignorant back then, wasn't I? People can't make mistakes. I've changed now. From now on, don't mention this matter in front of my son!"
When the people around heard this, they all started laughing.
People grow up after going through things. Lu Tianfu is indeed different from when he was in the village.
After a brief chat, the men went back to the house to continue working.
The women looked at the firewood piled in the yard and asked Lu Tianming where to put it.
The entire yard, except for the area where livestock were raised, was full of people living in all the other houses.
But if this firewood is placed in the livestock shed, it will probably be covered with manure in no time.
In the end, Lu Tianming decided to distribute the firewood to everyone according to the number of people, and each family put it directly in their own house.
Two days passed in a flash, and the kangs in every household had been set up.
Now we just need to dry it for three more days before we can burn the kang.
Taking advantage of the fact that it didn't snow today, Lu Tianming organized everyone to go up the mountain to chop firewood.
The climate in the past two years has been very abnormal, so it would be better to prepare more firewood.
But on a snowy day like this, going up the mountain to chop firewood is not an easy task.
In addition to machetes, everyone also prepared many long ropes.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, looking at the thick snow on the mountain, everyone became more cautious.
They had no idea what the mountain looked like under the snow, so it was better to be cautious.
Brother Tu took the lead, using a long stick to explore the way.
After climbing up some distance, tie the rope to a thick tree.
The other end of the rope is tied around your waist.
In this way, after walking for a while and changing trees, the group reached the halfway point of the mountain safely.
After choosing a location, the group began to chop wood.
Previously, Lujia Village was also near a mountain. When people chopped firewood, they would pick trees at intervals and would not cut down all the trees in one place.
In Lu Qingqing's impression, this matter seemed to be a convention.
Although the villagers could not give a specific reason, they just knew that they could not cut down all the trees.
After more than a year in ancient times, the longer Lu Qingqing lived with them, the more she realized one thing.
Ancient people were not stupider than modern people!
Due to environmental constraints, they have limited access to information and have suffered from hunger for a long time.
Therefore, most ordinary people are more concerned about the basic issues of survival.
These life-improving skills have been passed down from generation to generation through word of mouth.
Maybe because it has been so long, I have forgotten why I did this.
But they knew clearly that it was the right thing to do, so they passed it down from generation to generation.
When this part was almost cut, Tu Rong called Qin Lang, Lu Qingqing and others to continue moving forward.
The few of them walked cautiously, and suddenly they saw a pheasant flying out from the tree in front of them.
Li Rui pointed at the pheasant excitedly and said to Lu Qingqing beside him:
"Da Ya, hurry up and keep that pheasant!"
